I am thankful for the ability to recognize where my territory ends, and when it is time to let go.
Sometimes, it is better for me to stop talking, working on something or trying to influence a person’s decision. When I am trying to control a situation or person, I am stepping out of my role; so I need to make sure I don’t give unsolicited help, especially when it is unwelcome.
Some things take time.
Sometimes, I am wrong.
At times, we are both wrong.
Sometimes, people are very stupid.
We will encounter all sorts of situations with many different people, where we must learn to recognize a losing battle and cease fighting. All we can do is give our best efforts and adhere to our own set of values, at all times.
I give every situation, relationship, and challenge that feels overwhelming, over to the God I believe is my Creator. When I do this through prayer and follow a few simple action steps, I find solutions and peace in my heart. When I hold onto these things, I find myself frustrated, distracted, and unorganized.
Do your best at the things you are capable of doing. Avoid trying to control the things that are clearly meant for God.
Have a great day 🙏🏼⛪️🕊️
